	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Handguns
		Revolvers have a revolving chamber; pistols have a chamber integral with the barrel.
		Revolvers feed ammunition via the rotation of a cartridge-filled cylinder, in which each cartridge is contained in its own ignition chamber, and is sequentially brought into alignment with the weapon's barrel by a mechanism linked to the weapon's trigger (double-action) or its hammer (single-action).
		Some automatic pistol models such as the HK Heckler and Koch USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) come in a variety of mechanism types and can be easily changed by a gunsmith for both left- and right-handed shooters and for different operating mechanism and safety features.

	Gun Show On The Net.com - Gun Encyclopedia
		Although automatic firearms (by definition) are capable of full-automatic fire, most also have a selective fire capability, meaning that they can be used as a semi-automatic firearm generally by manipulating a selector switch (as with the M16), or by pressing the trigger further to the rear, as with the Steyr AUG assault rifle.
		Revolvers have remained popular to the present day in many areas, although they have largely been supplanted by semi-automatic magazine-fed pistols such as the Colt 1911, especially in circumstances where reload time and higher cartridge capacity is important.
		Revolvers, due to their 'loose' structure, cannot be made quiet, with few exceptions: the Nagant M1895 revolver, used an unusual gas-sealed cylinder that made it suitable for use with a suppressor.

	revolver
		If revolvers are carried by any of the featured players, they are usually for hunting, or target practice, or else it is an older character, set in his ways, and not amenable to the more advanced weapons of the day.
		Revolver designers have a bit more of a free hand in the style of the grip, so it would seem that a revolver grip would be capable of the ideal shape for fitting the hand and taking aim.
		Revolvers can also go out of tune, a situation in which the cylinder is not exactly lined up with the barrel at the moment of firing.

	Revolver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Revolvers have remained popular to the present day in many areas, although they have largely been supplanted by magazine-fed semi-automatic pistols such as the Colt M1911, especially in circumstances where reload time and higher cartridge capacity is deemed important.
		The LeMat Revolver, an unusual 9-shot revolver from the Civil War era with 8 revolving chambers firing bullets and a center barrel firing shot.
		Since the cylinder in these revolvers is firmly attached at the front and rear of the frame, and since the frame is typically full thickness all the way around, single action revolvers are inherently strong designs.

	VPC - Studies Assault Weapons & Accesories
		Revolvers have a round cylinder that is actually the magazine and acts as a chamber when properly aligned with the barrel.
		Instead of a revolving cylinder, a semi-automatic handgun (also known as a pistol) carries its extra cartridges in a magazine usually located in the handle of the handgun.
		Assault firearms are semi-automatic (firing one bullet per trigger pull) and fully automatic (the weapon will keep on firing as long as the trigger is depressed) anti-personnel rifles, shotguns, and handguns that are designed primarily for military and law enforcement use.

	Revolver - Background, Design, Raw Materials, The Manufacturing, Quality Control
		Although Colt's handgun still had to be front-loaded, its revolving cylinder contained five or six chambers, and the shooter advanced it automatically by cocking the hammer (earlier models had required shooters to align each chamber and depress the hammer separately).
		Today, revolvers continue to be used alongside automatic pistols by police officers, members of the armed forces, and target shooters throughout the world.
		Most modern revolvers are of the double action design, in which the trigger rotates the cylinder, cocks the hammer, and completes the firing in one motion.

	Handguns and their ammunition
		Contrary to the revolver where the hammer directly hits the primer in the cartridge (see below for an explanation), in a pistol, pressing the trigger releases the hammer which hits the firing pin which hits the primer or simply releases the firing pin.
		The double-action-only (DAO)pistol: it is the pistol equivalent of the DA revolver.
		Taurus and Smith and Wesson are producing medium frame revolvers for the cartridge (5 rounds capacity) to use as a "belly gun".

	Automatic revolver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The automatic revolver is a hybrid of revolver and automatic pistol that uses the energy of firing for cocking the hammer and revolving the cylinder.
		A newer automatic revolver that is still produced today is the Mateba Autorevolver.
		Between roughly 1880 and 1895, the term "automatic revolver" was used for top-break revolvers that automatically ejected spent rounds when opened.

	What are Handguns?
		Cartridges may be loaded into the revolver's cylinder 2 ways, again, depending on design.
		For the second, and all consecutive shots, cocking is done automatically, when recoil force pulls back the slide, ejecting the spent cartridge and loading a fresh one from the magazine into the chamber..
		Some semi-automatics and revolvers have a double-action-only (DOA) mode, which requires the trigger pull to cock the gun for each shot.

		Revolvers have a revolving chamber that can hold between 5 and 10 bullets depending on the gun.
		Semi automatic guns have a magazine that fits into the handle and holds the bullets, up to 15 for some guns.
		A machine gun is a fully automatic rifled gun, meaning it shoots cartridges rapidly, as long as the trigger is held.

	Revolvers & Semi Automatic Pistols
		It was a traditional safety precaution with revolvers to carry the weapon with the hammer on an empty chamber.
		Weight and length were similar to the TT-33, the revolver having a lower muzzle velocity of 270 metres per second.
		Revolvers with a cylinder capacity of more than six rounds are generally thought of as quite unusual, so it is surprising to find the Red Army inherited such a weapon from its Tsarist predecessor.

	[No title]
		The system consisted of a revolver with a split frame, one part housing the cylinder and hammer being free to slide in the lower half, consisting of lower frame, butt and trigger mechanism.
		In the period between the coming of the cartridge revolver and the advent of the first semi-auto pistols (roughly the 1880 to 1895 period), the term 'automatic revolver' was used to describe a revolver that automatically extracted the empties when broken open, the typical top-break revolver.
		The Webley-Fosbery in.455 Mk II (1901, 1902 and 1914 models), the Webley-Fosbery.38 Colt (1901 and 1902 models) and the Union in.32 S&W. The.38 Colt cartridge was an underloaded.38 Super, designed for use in early Colt.38 semi-autos that predate the M1911 'conversion' to.38 Super in 1929.

	HANDGUN TYPES
		The latter is true because the action of the pistol automatically ejects the spent brass as it cycles; when the shooter needs to reload he merely removes the empty magazine and inserts a new one.
		DA revolvers are also fast and easy to reload, since the cylinder typically swings out of the frame for simultaneous ejection of all six empty brass cases with one push on the ejector rod.
		Modern double action revolvers are perfectly safe to carry with all six chambers loaded, as they all use some sort of transfer bar or hammer block to positively prevent the hammer from contacting a cartridge and causing an accidental discharge.

	small arms: Automatic Weapons
		The automatic pistol to some extent replaced the revolver as the standard military sidearm; the revolver, however, remained the weapon of most police forces in the United States even though it has less fire power and carries less ammunition than the automatic pistol—mainly because, unlike the automatic, it did not jam.
		The submachine gun, a light, portable automatic weapon fired either from the hip or the shoulder, was sometimes employed by the Germans and Italians during World War I. In the United States, J. Thompson, in cooperation with J. Blish, perfected (1920) one of the first notable submachine guns.
		Just before World War I the automatic rifle, sometimes known as the light machine gun or machine rifle, was developed; part rifle, part machine gun, it is mounted on a bipod, has a shoulder stock, and is magazine-fed. Outstanding types of this weapon are the British Bren gun and the American Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR).

		It was not until 1904 that the absolute safety of the Iver Johnson "Safety Automatic" revolver with respect to accidental discharge by a fall, or an unexpected blow on the hammer, was forcefully driven home to the public in a manner that defied contention.
		The revolver's firing pin is mounted in the frame, and a bar connected to the trigger moved up and down in the recess between the pin and the specially- shaped hammer face.
		Two million Iver Johnson "Safety Automatic" revolvers were sold during the first fourteen years that they were on the market, this figure rising to three million by 1911.

	Iver Johnson, Harrington & Richardson, other pocket pistol information
		This revolver has an interesting system of extraction – once the cylinder is swung open at a 90% angle to the barrel, the cylinder is grasped and pulled towards the barrel for the fixed ejector star to push out the shells.
		HandR had made solid frame DA revolvers earlier in the 1880’s, but their "HandR Shell Extracting Revolver" was introduced in 1886 and made until 1888 as their first top-break design.
		In the standard Safety Automatic revolvers with the traditional exposed hammer, the First Model was made from 1894 through 1895 and is identified by it’s single post latch system.

		This is very dangerous and can lead easily to the wrong person shot especially with semi automatic weapons after their first round has been fire and the firearms hammer is back.
		One note is that the Desert Eagle line of automatic pistols do not chamber non Magnum rounds because they use a gas operation system unlike most automatic pistols which use simple blowback.
		The cylinder of the.38 revolver is too short for a.357 round, so they cannot be used (it would also most likely destroy the weapon if they could because of the higher explosive force).
